You know me only to well Will

what can I say, I get easily distracted

to be honest there's only a couple of little jobs that need finishing before I paint it so you may see it completed in the near future, if it's any consolation I did manage to put some decals on my dukw build though
Cheers,Lee.

I have fond and not so fond memories of the Bedford RL but I don't think I have ever seen a !/16 "S" Type cab which is a great pity because I should like to add at least one RL to my fleet of trucks although not the early one which shorted the battery whenever someone sat on the passengers seat.(The battery was under the seat covered by a steel plate!!!)

Thank you Kaczor

this vehicle certainly had a special look about it, every army needs support so vehicles like this brings interest to the battlefield
Cheers,Lee.

It has such a distinctive "so ugly that it's beautiful" appearance of British military vehicles

I have one solitary WPL truck, Lee. Seeing what you've done here- much of it below the RCTW radar-makes me think about a future Matador conversion

( with a flourish of a cape and sword

). A question for you: did you alter the chassis at all, or is it a bog-standard WLP unit (dimensionally, etc.,)?
